My pupils aren't what they used to be
Two broad balloons filling with heat
Absorbing and rising, opened but holding
My pupils are closing
Cause I fell out of love with a woman
My pupils once were spread for breadth
Like flattened maps held by bookends
I once was excited
I once was dilated
I once was in love with a woman
But even maps are bound by trim
I'm winded, this friction
You're cold when I'm hot
And I can't touch you
So for lack of a bookend..
